Although San Juancito was historically known for its mineral deposits, today it stands out for being located within the buffer zone of La Tigra National Park—a rainforest ecosystem and Honduras' first national park.

Honduras Coffee Regions

In Honduras, coffee producing areas are divided into six major regions, distributed across the western and southern parts: Santa Barbara, El Paraiso, Copan, La Paz, Comayagua, and Olancho. The average growing altitude is above 1,100 meters above sea level. The coffee variety is Arabica, with 69% classified as HG "High Grown" coffee, 12% as SHG "Strictly High Grown" coffee, and 19% as CS. Main varieties include Typic, Bourbon, Caturra, Villa Sarchi, and Lempira.

Bourbon Coffee

Bourbon coffee (French: Café Bourbon) is coffee produced from Arabica coffee trees of the Bourbon cultivar. Bourbon coffee was originally cultivated in Réunion, which was called Île Bourbon before 1789. It was later occupied by France, connecting it with the African continent and Latin America. It is now one of the two most popular Arabica coffee production regions globally. Bourbon coffee is typically grown at altitudes of 3,500 to 6,500 feet (1,062–1,972 meters).

Climate and Growing Conditions

Because Honduras is located in a tropical region, San Juancito experiences relatively small temperature variations throughout the year. Therefore, what is called winter is actually the rainy season, while what is called summer is actually the dry season. In tropical regions, altitude affects temperature more than the timing of rainfall throughout the year. San Juancito's geographical location at an altitude of over 1,239 meters makes the temperature feel slightly cool year-round. In summer (March-June), the highest temperature is often around 26°C, while the lowest temperature averages about 18°C. In winter, the average high temperature is 20°C, with lows around 14°C.

San Juancito's modern economy largely depends on agriculture, with most of it being small-scale coffee production. Its climate and altitude are highly favorable for producing high-quality coffee beans. COMISAJUL, a cooperative organization of hundreds of small coffee farmers in central Honduras, is located in San Juancito. COMISAJUL is a cooperative organized by several hundred coffee farmers in the San Juancito region, where coffee is grown on mountains at altitudes of 1,450-1,550 meters, shaded by banana, avocado, and papaya trees. During the harvest season, coffee farmers hand-pick ripe fruits, which are then washed and sun-dried. The fermentation water containing coffee pulp and skin from the washing process is collected and used as fertilizer for coffee trees. This batch of coffee has a very clean taste, high sweetness, very gentle acidity, and milk chocolate flavor notes.
